Bob Cesca has the comparisons between what the Indiana senator, who is struggling in the polls, is saying, and what the rhetoric of the former Alaska governor.

Bayh on Morning Joe:

“We’re gonna pursue a common sense path to get back on the right path.”

“Common sense solutions that show we’re in touch with ordinary Americans…”

Sarah Palin To Rush Limbaugh:

“But those common sense solutions there, especially with the cutting taxes on the job creators? That’s not even being discussed.”

“Not when there are common sense solutions to meeting health care challenges in our country… So lots of commonsense solutions that need to be plugged in before ever considering federal government taking it over.”

“It’s all about Americans who are hurting right now and what those solutions are that are so obvious, so common sense that need to be plugged in.”

Maybe that’s why Bayh is polling behind right-wing Congressman Mike Pence. If Democrats want to win, they need to differentiate themselves from Republicans. How’s that for startling insight? And Pence hasn’t even said he’s running for Bayh’s seat. (via The Political Carnival).
